I recently got a call from a telemarketer joyfully letting me know about the privilege I have gained by answering the phone. I am one of a select group of people who will be permitted to do this survey.
Now if it were a simple "ya wanna do a survey?" I'd give a cheerful "no thanks" and let her be on her way, but since she's pulling this "you're privileged" bullshit, I can't let her off that easy. I match her tone, making it so sugary sweet that it would put a diabetic into shock:
Me: And how much will you be paying me to do your wonderful survey?
TM: This is an exclusive survey, we are only accepting the opinions from a select group of people.
Me: So what you're saying is that you're not paying anything for your wonderful survey.
TM: The value you get is your opinion being one of the few that we will accept.
Me: Right, well guess where you can shove your wonderful survey.
TM: .....
Me: *click*
